Need a punchline? Our message ideas that hit the spot
Pairing a funny card with a boring message is like a cake without sugar. Here are some message ideas to make the birthday boy or girl laugh (or cringe):
Theme: Age (The All-Time Classic)
"Happy Birthday! Don't think of it as getting older, think of it as being one step closer to senior discounts at the cinema. It happens faster than you think!"
"Happy Birthday! I called the fire department as a precaution... with all those candles on the cake, we can't be too careful about the fire hazard."
Theme: Age (The Roast)
"Happy Birthday! I was going to make a joke about how old you are, but I was afraid I’d get hit with your cane. You look great for someone of... a certain vintage!"
"Congrats! You’ve finally reached the age where 'happy hour' is a nap. Enjoy your wild day of sitting down!"
The "Sincere but Sharp" Message
"Happy Birthday! You’re the living proof that growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional. Stay immature, it suits you!"
"Happy Birthday! For your gift, I decided to give you something priceless: my presence. You’re welcome, I know I’m your favorite person."
For the friend expecting a gift
"Happy Birthday! For your gift, I decided to give you something priceless: my presence at your party. You're welcome—it’s free."
The "Late" Message (The cheesy excuse)
"Happy Birthday! This card isn't late; your calendar is just too fast. I’m simply operating on 'cool people' time."
